I have had a rough time with mobo's lately. Lost 2 in a week. One because it was just time and the other my own fault. Glad decent Socket A mobo's are pocket change these days.
Looking foreward to your new system test bench. Do you still want to do DIY blocks? If so I can make new tops to the 2 blocks I would like to send you for socket 939. Will be a long time before I get around to it though. Want to get my own system bench up and run them through and then tweak them the best I can before I send them your way. Then I am not completely shooting in the dark like the last couple blocks.
